Honestly, if I were in your shoes I'd keep it. If you ever want to do some touring, that's your bike.

I would be all over this if it was my size.....

What a great foundation for a build.

I bought a brazed fork from Bontrager himself in an ebay auction the other day but it's for 26" wheels.

All I had left to the build was a nice set of cables and chain, and it would be on the road/off-road. Oh yes, I was taking it off road
I might still keep it, if I can generate sufficient funds from other sales, then this one comes back off the block, with a quickness.

Yes! This is the first early Bonty cx that's I've seen in a medium; all the later bonty cx framesets were larger, which wouldn't work with a cyclocross build.

I bought this off of a girl in NYC who had it on Craigslist. She had a vague description about it being a mid nineties Bontrager. I went and saw it and bought it on the spot. She had purchased it from a shop in Colorado and "put it together" as a commuter. She decided she only needed one bike (a rather nice Ritchey soft tail that she thought was made of aluminum :shock: ) so she sold this on to me. It really was a bit compact for my size so I sent it on to Rob. It's life prior to her buying it is a mystery. I asked her about the ding in the fame and she looked at it and couldn't recall if she had done it or if she had bought it that way . :roll:

Can I borrow it to do some single speed cross on? Please?
